I live in a very hot climate 100+ all summer, the pond is in direct sun

1200 gallons with 12 ft of water fall length, Pond master 4800 gph pump
with a Pond master pressurized bio filter with a 20 or 22 watt UV light.
the water has always been crystal clear until this summer

HELP Please

Yes about 15 fish

First I would like to say crystal clear water IN A POND is often a sign of deadly
water. real pond water is not perfectly clear without a lot of equipment.
shading in a hot climate can use shade cloth, or, put in water lilies and oxygenators
like elodea. 12 foot waterfall? you must lose a lot of water from that.
I use a veggie filter to keep my water "clear" altho that means I dont have pea soup,
but htewater is yellowish. Ingrid
